CEDPA''s programs:

increase educational opportunities for girls and youth;
ensure access to lifesaving reproductive health and HIV/AIDS information and services; and
strengthen women’s ability to become leaders in their communities and nations.
Through sub-grants and technical assistance to local partners, CEDPA strengthens community organizations for lasting change. We have awarded nearly $100 million in sub-grants to local organizations and women’s groups throughout our 30-year history.

With a global training program, CEDPA has trained more than 5,000 women, men and youth who are now leading change for women and girls in countries from Albania to Zambia. These alumni reinvest the skills they gained in CEDPA workshops through their work to deliver health services, improve education programs, advocate policy reform and lead their nations.

CEDPA''s headquarters are in Washington, DC, and we have offices in Egypt, India, Nepal, Nigeria, and South Africa.

With our many worldwide partners, CEDPA is building a groundswell of change agents for effective international development.
